SUB SWARA
closes out a crushing year long hit of LOVE! with episode ::034:: which finds the crew in proper form to build with DC's finest. FORT KNOX FIVE drops in for a historic mash-up of east-coast sound-systems and a rare full-on live set to celebrate their much anticipated debut album 'Radio Free D.C.'.

The first in a cycle of collaborations is complete and poised for international release in December. Catch a preview of the Sub Swara remix of the original FK5 ragga-banger 'Killa Soundboy' feat. Zeebo, and Fort Knox's party-wrecking rework of the classic Sub Swara anthem, 'The Balance' feat. Juakali:

Much more forthcoming...

On 'Radio Free D.C.' Fort Knox invited many of their close friends from around the Nation's Capitol, including Asheru (Unspoken Heard), Mustafa Akbar, Rootz & Zeebo (See-I), Sleepy Wonder and Ian Svenonius (Nation of Ulysses/The Make Up) to help them create a record that captures DC's musical diversity. Sought after producers and remixers FK5 have over 20 remixes to their credit, including monster mixes for A. Skillz and Krafty Kuts, Kraak & Smaak, Sub Swara, Ursula 1000, Dynamo Productions, and Mo' Horizons, as well as remixes of the legendary Tito Puente, Louis Armstrong, and Robert Nesta. They produced 4 crucial tracks for Afrika Bambaataa's album 'Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light.'

For this show FK5 takes things back to their roots, keeping the vibe upfull and centered around the city they love, Washington D.C. joined by a host of special guests tba. Hear FK5 the way they are meant to be heard: Very LIVE!!

With humility and deep gratitude Sub Swara thanks everyone who has come out this year and shown such enthusiastic support. You all have made this a truly incredible run. Come Friday Dec. 5th there is nowhere we would rather be than bouncing deep in the cut with you all at home and in Love. Help us give Fort Knox the proper NY welcome they deserve and bring 2oo8 to a memorable hands-in-the-air conclusion.

Viva!
